Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a first-year teacher, I did not know what to expect when it came to how quickly we run through supplies in a classroom. Now I have learned, students come to school without any materials. I understand the supplies can be difficult to get due to a reason beyond "I forgot."

I would like to close the gap by providing the materials for students that need them for classroom management and organization.

Our classroom is still in the process of growing, and we need a lot of these materials to keep our classroom functioning smoothly. I want them to all have access to the tools they need to grow into the most amazing learners!
